President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Friday questioned whether Michael Cohen will be prosecuted for perjury after he denied seeking a White House job in his testimony before Congress.
Cohen said before the House Oversight and Reform Committee that he “didn’t want to go to the White House,” when asked by Republicans.
"I was extremely proud to be the personal attorney for the president of the United States of America. I did not want to go to the White House. I was offered jobs," he said.
Giuliani tweeted Friday morning: "Mueller prosecuted General Flynn for a false statement when the FBI thought he was telling the truth. Well Cohen’s perjury about seeking a WH job is proven by his own words. Must be prosecuted?"
The former New York City mayor also pointed to a clip of an interview with Cohen on CNN shortly after the 2016 election, in which he says that he would “one hundred percent” join Trump’s administration, and said that he had not been asked.
Trump’s sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., also tweeted about the same clip.
“Michael was lobbying EVERYONE to be ‘Chief of Staff,’” Eric Trump tweeted. “It was the biggest joke in the campaign and around the office. Did he just perjure himself again?”
“Nailed it. It really was the biggest joke of the entire transition," Donald Trump Jr. added. "The beginning of his bitterness was when he realized that was never going to happen.”
